Game Changers: Projects that Transform the Urban Fabric
Leaders who worked on three transformative urban projects showed why the projects had distinguished themselves as ULI award winners at the “Game Changers” session at ULI’s 2010 Fall Meeting. Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore introduced The Southern Ridges; Downtown Fort Worth, Texas and its Sundance Square; and, Columbia Heights, a historic neighborhood in northwest Washington, D.C., and its commercial center are three case studies that offer what the public sector can do, even in the current economic climate.

Infrastructure in the Trenches: ULI Chicago Identifies Game Changers
ULI Chicago’s Infrastructure Committee began looking for ways to improve infrastructure decision-making in 2008. The 48-member committee started with two premises: that the region should invest in infrastructure, not spend on it, and that implementation offered fresh opportunities for private sector involvement. Read about the process the committee has come up with that identifies infrastructure “game changers.”

Five TOD Questions to Ask about Bus Rapid Transit in Your Community
Because bus rapid transit (BRT) seems to play out differently in every community, different types of bus infrastructure and service may all be called BRT. Both the public and private sectors need to share the specifics of what is being planned and developed. Only then will it be clear whether there are opportunities to turn your community’s BRT into bus rapid transit-oriented development (BRTOD).

Bus Rapid Transit and Land Use
Successful transit-oriented developments (TODs) meet demand for compact, walkable, mixed-use development-the same markets that are also likely to see an important amenity value in easy access to high-quality transit service. At the same time, the more people, jobs, and services that exist within walking distance of transit service, the higher the potential transit ridership and fare generation, and the more cars that can be pulled off congested roads. TOD is a win-win for land use and transportation.
